lyrics

VERSE 1
Check it, I’m from a place called Jazz does that sound insane?
I’ve got that head nodding shit that leaves your neck in pain
So don’t bring it unless you can withstand my streets
And don’t sing it unless you come correct with the beats
They say you live by the sword then you die by the sword
I live by the beat and the bass and the chord
So I’ll die by the beat and the bass and the chord
On stage with an audience who love to applaud
Yo I’m trying to make cheese the first rapper out here on five LP’s
But still they won’t give me covers on these damn magazines
They’re hating the D
When all I’m trying to do is be the best I can be
People ask me why I rap in an American voice?
Like I’ve got to do it your way and I have no choice
Further more do you question Glamma on his Jamaican grammar?
No you don’t you just accept it to be Ragga
So accept this to be hip-hop my man
"Moto sa wa ge" to my peoples in Japan
5 years crack snares bring it to your ears
If vinyl was for renting only you’d be in arrears
Yo because you’d never want to bring this back
Practicing your rhyme flow on this DL track
The most consistent artist in the UK or is he?
Turntables hate me because I keep them so busy

CHORUS X 2
Turntables hate me cos I keep em' so busy
Record after record yo' the people say "who is he?"
F-F-F-Funky (Who is He?) F-Funky DL
Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky


CHANT X 4
Turntables hate me cos I keep em' so busy


VERSE 2
I’ve got that Heartfelt Integrity, When Love Is Breaking Down
Classic Was The Day, One Another type sound
Now it’s Blackcurrent Jazz, people hating because I kept my foot on the gas
And steamed right pass yo
I’ve got the stamina, flash like a camera
NS10’s Yamaha, Classic like a Tamala
Motown recording who did the programming ha?
Sounding real Funky I’m the Funky examiner
DL the name you can’t forget to remember
Scorpio stinging because I’m born in November
Wait for green lights but I move on the amber
Cut a beat down make your crew shout “timber”
I know you thought I wouldn’t be much
Now musically I can’t be touched because I’m so top notch
Hopscotch and I always go Dutch
Like Starsky and Hutch and such and such and such
I’m like a game of chess the only thing
Is I don’t need to move and I guess I still win
Rugged like the ruggedest crew
Rugged like a big kick drum with low mid EQ
Have you ever heard of Washington Classics?
Drop mad plastic filled with rap tactics
As my records spin you get real dizzy
Turntables hate me because I keep them so busy


CHORUS X 2


CHANT X 4
Turntables hate me cos I keep em' so busy


CHORUS X2
